Zotac launched ZBOX PI320 - an ultra small PC with Windows 8.1 aboard
Zotac has already presented us its new Windows PC in August this year. And now this ultra small form factor PC is available for cooperative usage.
ZBOX PI320, which was created especially for those who disregard the uncomfortably big and buzzing boxes under the table and thousand of mixed wires sticking around. Of course, such enormous machines have their advantages like ability to run the most up-to-date games, which is absolutely impossible for mini PCs, such as Zotac PI320, which should be actually called pico PCs in general.
Tiny ZBOX runs the Windows 8.1 OS, which seems to be physically impossible to be embedded in a pencil-case like box for paper clips, not reminding a computer at all. There's a Quad-Core Bay Trail processor Intel Atom Z3735F, 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage expandable with micro SDXC memory cards. It might seem to be fantastic, but it's actually quite enough for simple and trivial daily tasks connected with studies and job.
It is compact enough to fit your pocket or bag case and plug it with HDMI to have your own PC at work and be unspotted with such a substitution at your workplace. Using it instead of a notebook is also useful having a free display on the desktop. But there should be one more cable carried through as an electrical source, keeping in mind there is no space for miniature batteries to put in.
ZOTAC series ZBOX PI320 Pico PC communicates through the 3xUSD 2.0 ports, high-speed WiFi 802.11n wireless connection and Ethernet networks. These mini-computers are already available on the official store priced at $199 with a pre-installed software. But if you'd like to use Ubuntu or any other Linux distribution kit of your choice don't hesitate to install it on your own.

Acer cuts down the price for Chromebox to $180 per piece
Acer Chromebox CXI is now available for purchase in the US. It comes on the market with quite nice specifications, which will be absolutely enough for easy studying and efficient work.
Portable Chromebox is an absolutely new event in the world of technologies, though it has already taken off, especially it has made its point to the people, who doesn't want to have the main control panel from the huge and powerful space battleship Alienware Area 51 or any other high-performance PC.
You can find here a mediocre gear inside comparing to Windows devices, but it is absolutely sufficient for Chrome OS. Chromebox is equipped with a Dual Core Haswell processor 1,4Hz Intel Celeron 2957U, 2GB or 4GB of RAM at your choice and inner 16GB SSD memory for both options. At the periphery there are an SD card slot, four USB 3.0 slots, HDMI, Display and Gigabit Ethernet ports and Audio output. WiFi 802.11a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0 are dislocated inside.
This is a perfect machine for simple tasks, as web surfing, social networks activity, studying, work and gaming, though forget about the games with high requirements, as they will be unachievable for this PC. Price formation is adequate to its declared specs and performance, so for 2GB option makers will ask $180 and $220 for 4GB one. Drawing your attention to the rate of the new technologies development, we can presume that the $40 difference is imperceptible comparing to the 2GB of disadvantage having aboard the budget PC.
